News from Rickmansworth Liberal Democrats - Three Rivers, a Lib Dem Run Council

Recent works have taken place at the Withey Beds - our local nature reserve. The work has been done by the Environment Agency and Watford Piscators and is designed to restore existing features and create new ones. The natural flow of the rivers has been protected and shallow areas provided for spawning. There is a fry nursery, flood refuge area and a nursery area for juvenile amphibians and invertebrates. The shallow margins ensure the water warms up quickly, providing conditions for fish to survive and grow. The final phase will include 2 new interpretation boards and a pasture pump so grazing cattle can draw water from the river when they need a drink. The annual guided tour is on Sunday 15th May, meet at the Batchworth Lock Centre at 2.00pm. Find out more at http://www.thewitheybeds.org.uk/ ……………………………………………………… Welly Walk at the Aquadrome on 12th April, 10.00am -12.00pm .meet by the Café and explore and see birds, mini beasts and early flowering plants with the Park Ranger. …………………………………………

Many commuters are now reaching the stations by car and there are consequently serious capacity problems. The car parks are full by 0930 most days and latecomers are parking in surrounding residential areas, on roads and in the nearby lanes.
